This is a 2-CD distillation of Rhino's deluxe 2002 4-CD boxed-set restoration. It presents the complete 30-song track listing from the original 1978 triple-LP release, remixed by The Band's Robbie Robertson and newly remastered for incredible clarity.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, The Band are one of rock's most revered and influential acts. First formed to accompany rockabilly great Ronnie Hawkins, they became Bob Dylan's backing group in the mid-'60s before embarking on their own now-legendary "solo" course. The Band made ageless, unforgettable roots-based music, and when they called it quits with a farewell gala at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, they made history. Famously captured on film by Martin Scorsese, the show's audio recording resulted in one of the greatest concert albums of all time.

Guest highlights include "Such A Night" with Dr. John; "Mystery Train" with Paul Butterfield; "Mannish Boy" with Muddy Waters; "Further On Up The Road" with Eric Clapton; "Helpless" with Neil Young; "Coyote" with Joni Mitchell; "Dry Your Eyes" with Neil Diamond; "Caravan" with Van Morrison; "Forever Young" with Bob Dylan; an all-star "I Shall Be Released"; and much more!

Comprehensive booklet packed with scores of historic photos and in-depth liner notes by acclaimed rock writer David Fricke.
